The Bureau provides a number of services from its base in Sutton-in Ashfield. Their main work is providing a volunteer brokerage service, i.e. matching volunteers with volunteering opportunities and this grant will allow the group to employ a volunteer outreach worker to work in the surrounding community promoting volunteering, recruiting volunteers and widening the number of organisations taking on volunteers.

The award will fund an event to celebrate Volunteers Week & the Year of the Volunteer. This will incorporate an awards ceremony where certificates will be presented to three of their member organisations who have demonstrated the best practice during the past year. There will be showcases of their work and volunteers will talk about their experiences of volunteering. The purpose will be to highlight the work of volunteers and promote the benefits of volunteering.

This volunteer bureau will establish several fora for existing volunteers and those interested in volunteering. A large proportion of those involved in volunteering have been previously isolated by virtue of being either unemployed, newly arrived in the UK or having mental health issues. This project will offer training and information as well as an opportunity for networking with other volunteers. This in turn will enable them to grow in confidence and enhance the skills they use in their volunteer work.

Community Service Volunteers (CSV) works to reconnect people to their community through volunteering and training and to enrich people?s lives. This project will produce short audio and visual clips on volunteer's experiences, produced by the volunteers themselves. CSV will showcase the clips in order to recognise their efforts and promote volunteering to others, through radio, TV and at local community events. This will be done in conjunction with the 'Year of the Volunteer' campaign.

The organisation has been very successful in recruiting volunteers and the numbers are now such that there are insufficient places available. This project will develop the opportunities and support organisations using volunteers to gain the Investing in Volunteers accreditation. They will help build the capacity of small groups to manage volunteers, leading to a greater supply of higher quality opportunities for volunteers in the local community.

This project will enable those with mental health issues and learning or physical disabilities to access volunteering opportunities to reduce their isolation and increase their confidence. Training courses will increase skills and confidence and volunteer managers from local organisations will be supported to work with volunteers. The project will also establish a database of ad-hoc volunteers and opportunities, and provide a matching service for prospective volunteers and voluntary organisations.

Lowestoft Volunteer Bureau will join Halesworth Volunteer Centre and Southwold Voluntary Help Centre to develop the role of volunteering in Waveney, especially the rural areas. The three year grant will be used for the salaries of the project manager, three part-time administrators and a full-time volunteer co-ordinator, and also for running costs and training for staff and volunteers.

This project will contribute towards the demand for high quality professional information, advice and training for volunteers and volunteer recruiting organisations. It will increase the capacity and number of prospective volunteers, including people traditionally excluded from volunteering e.g. people with disabilities, asylum seekers, refugees and those who would find it difficult to volunteer.

The project aims to raise the profile of volunteering by increasing the number of people who volunteer in Shepway. Serving a rural area, the project will reach out to potential volunteers across the region. An 'outreach vehicle' will enable the project to visit village fairs to recruit volunteers. They will gain new skills and increased confidence, while helping their local voluntary sector to develop.

The Volunteer Centre seeks to build on its success of the past five years (as Uttlesford Volunteer Bureau) by continuing its work in recruiting volunteers for voluntary organisations. The one year grant will fund the existing post of a Manager(15hrs), Deputy Manager (13hrs) which includes an increase of three hours, Administrative Officer (20hrs), running expenses, producing information, training and travel for staff and volunteers.

This is a project by a charity in Southwark. They will use funding to recruit and train volunteers to work with other volunteers, and hold consultation and feedback events for voluntary organisations throughout London. This will help to streamline volunteer services, ensuring the voices of volunteers are heard with regards to key policy decisions that affect them.

the staffing for the 'Supported Volunteering' Project for mental health client groups including staff costs for a Volunteer Support Worker (x2) and Group Project Worker as well as volunteer expenses, volunteer training and room hire

The charitable group intends to run a supported volunteering project to assist people with disabilities and others to overcome barriers to volunteering. Volunteers will receive special support during the first month of their placements. In their new roles volunteers will gain skills and self-esteem, at the same time as providing useful assistance to local organisations.
